Anaccurate and up-to-date email address, and/or phone number ensure you never lose access to your X account. There are a few ways to change your password, and keeping this information up to date simplifies resetting your account or password.
Note: Resetting your password will log you out of all your active X sessions. Additionally, password reset via text message isn't available to accounts that are enrolled in login verification. You can only reset your password through email.
If you frequently receive password reset messages that you did not request, it may be a good idea to turn on the Password reset protection in your account settings and set up two-factor authentication.
NOTE: If you use a mobile device or smartphone to access Purdue services such as email, PAL, or VPN, please read What steps should I take with my mobile device when resetting my password? before changing your password. This will help ensure that your mobile device doesn't cause you to become locked out while your password change is propagating through the system.
We may require that you reset or update your password at times due to evolving external security threats, updated security requirements, or if we suspect that your Xfinity ID has been compromised elsewhere. For your protection, if we suspect or observe suspicious activity relating to your account, we may also require that you reset your password.
Also, avoid using the same password for multiple accounts. It might be easier to remember, but reusing passwords increases the risk of a security compromise across various services if one is compromised.
If you are the secondary user on the account, a Manager, Member, or Viewer, and you do not have a mobile phone or a personal (non-Comcast) email address to provide, you can reset your password while connected to your in-home Xfinity Internet connection.
Important: If you had a T-Mobile account in the past, such as a previous prepaid account or an account that was canceled, and you want to reuse the email from that account, use the steps for the Email already registered error.
For login issues, don't access your T-Mobile account online from a bookmark/favorites, try manually entering the website address and retry logging in. There is a limit of 30 login attempts in a 24-hour period. Business customers eligible for the Account Hub should use that instead of T-Mobile.com.
It's good practice to change account passwords every few months. T-Mobile will require that you change your T-Mobile ID password if we detect that this password was used on compromised websites not related to T-Mobile.
Gmail has become our secondary ID for most of us on the interwebs today, serving as our go-to platform for both personal and professional communication. Losing access to our Gmail account can be a distressing experience, as it hampers your ability to connect with contacts and access important emails and data.
And sometimes, the situation becomes even more complex when you encounter difficulties in reaching the phone number or recovery email associated with your account. But you can skip the freak out phase!
Add a phone number and recovery email to your Google account to avoid future password recovery troubles. If you have similar problems in the future, restoring access to your report will be simpler, thanks to these extra recovery alternatives. Take these steps:
To add another level of protection during the password recovery procedure, Google allows users to create security questions. You may more quickly authenticate your identity and obtain access to your account by providing accurate answers to these questions.
Your Gmail account has an additional degree of protection thanks to two-factor authentication. When signing in, you must provide your password and a second verification number if you use 2FA. This code is usually created by an authenticator app or transmitted by SMS to your mobile device. The extra authentication step that 2FA demands makes it far more difficult for unauthorized users to access your account.
Ensure the recovery email address and phone number linked to your Gmail account are current and correct. If you forget your password, you may use these recovery alternatives to get back into your account. Check and update your contact information in your Google account settings often to make sure it is accurate.
Never share or keep your password in a location where it is readily accessible. Use a password manager, which securely saves your passwords and enables you to create and maintain robust, individual passwords for several accounts. Password managers provide access to an encrypted vault where you may store your passwords, offering additional security against unwanted access.

The organization users can reset their password themselves. In order to do so, it is mandatory for the user to know their current password. If you don't know or forgot your password, you can follow these instructions to regain access to your account.
If an Administrator has forgotten the password to his/her account, other Administrators can be requested to reset the password. It might be safe for Administrators to have other external email addresses linked to their accounts in cases of emergency. In such cases, they can request the password reset link to be sent to their secondary email address and access it from there.
If the Super Administrator of an organization has forgotten the password, it can be reset only by requesting a reset link to the secondary email address or a verification code to the mobile number. Admins cannot reset the password of the Super Admin to ensure better security.
If you are a personal account user and haven't accessed your account for 180 days, your account will be marked inactive and the data will be deleted after providing multiple warnings to the user via their secondary email address. Refer to this page on inactive accounts for more details. If you want to retain your data but forgot your password, follow the same set of steps as above.
Note: Updating your NetID password does not in any way affect your Apple ID passwords, or third-party service passwords (Dropbox, GMail, etc.) so you do not need to change any of your iTunes, iCloud, or App Store passwords.
You may have software on your computer(s), which stores your NetID password in order to access various services. When you change your NetID password, you should also be sure to update any stored NetID password to reflect the new password and avoid being locked out of your account.
When signing into campus systems that have DUO enabled, you will be prompted to confirm your login by sending a push notification to your registered smartphone or entering the passcode displayed in the DUO app (or on your key fob). More information about DUO and multi-factor authentication can be found on the IITS for You webpage.
If you still have not changed your password by the third warning, your account will be disabled -- you will not be able to log into your computer, your email,
my.csusm.edu, and other university systems.
